About the Work
Lynn
Hurst's
work
is
the
ultimate
blend
of
specimen
study,
symbology,
art
history,
nostalgia,
mad
science,
and
the
domestic.
Aside
from
being
an
assiduously
constructed
and
very
thoughtful
image,
Vanitas
also
feels
familiar
-
it
reminds
me
of
a
bee-sting
while
out
walking
in
Bastia
Hill,
of
magnolia
trees
hanging
over
fences
in
Whanganui
East,
and
of
silvereyes
chatting
away
in
the
feijoa
tree
out
the
back
of
my
house.
